Expedition Fixed
Car finally fixed! Sunday while having dinner at Jeremy's parents lightening struck the tree in front of their house unfortunately our car was parked next to the tree. Lightening apparently jumped from the tree to our car. The car behind us (sorry Sarah) took a lot more physical damage but unfortunately when we tried to go home our car was shut down in theft lock. It thought we were stealing it. got that fixed only to find the computer was fried and had to be replaced. Once that was replaced we found the steering column and the transmitter that recognizes the key was also shot. Now its finally done and all the parts are in! it feels like a new car YAY!

New Truck
I know this is a forward but I laughed so hard I wanted to share.
A sixteen year-old boy came home with a new Chevrolet Avalanche and his parents began to yell and scream, 'Where did you get that truck???!!!' He calmly told them, 'I bought it today.' 'With what money?' demanded his parents. They knew what a Chevrolet Avalanche cost.
'Well,' said the boy, 'this one cost me just fifteen dollars. ' So the parents began to yell even louder. 'Who would sell a truck like that for fifteen dollars?' they said.
'It was the lady up the street,' said the boy. I don't know her name - they just moved in. She saw me ride past on my bike and asked me if I wanted to buy a Chevrolet Avalanche for fifteen dollars.'
'Oh my Goodness!,' moaned the mother, 'she must be a child abuser. Who knows what she will do next? John, you go right up there and see what's going on.' So the boy's father walked up the street to the house where the lady lived and found her out in the yard calmly planting petunias!
He introduced himself as the father of the boy to whom she had sold a new Chevrolet Avalanche for fifteen dollars and demanded to know why she did it.
'Well,' she said, 'this morning I got a phone call from my husband. (I thought he was on a business trip, but learned from a friend he had run off to Hawaii with his mistress and really doesn't intend to come back).
He claimed he was stranded and needed cash, and asked me to sell his new Chevrolet Avalanche and send him the money.
So I did.'

Animals
We went to the summer reading kick off at our local library. There was lots of things to do and one of the was play with the animals. They included a hedge hog, a really gross wolf spider, a parrot ans a snake. The kids got to touch and hold all of them they thought it was great. I must admit I liked everything but the spider.

Free Jam
I like to make my own jams and preserves. The other day I made two jars for free and this is how I did it. While we were hiking up Maryland Heights we came across a mulberry tree and Jeremy and the kids had a few to eat. No I didn't go back to Maryland heights but I did drive by a tree in my neighborhood. Early this week the kids and I walked up to the neighbors house and asked them if we could pick the mulberries. They thought it was great. "Less clean up" were the words she used. Then We came home ate some and I turned the rest into Jam. Yay free jam!!!
